    • These are our terms and conditions which apply to our Service (explained below). Please read the entire document carefully and contact us if anything is unclear. We’ve tried to make it user-friendly but please note that the summaries/explanations for each section in capitals aren’t a substitute for the rest of the text. Please save a copy for future reference. These terms are only available in English and they replace any previous versions.

 

  1. Some definitions

THIS SECTION TELLS YOU WHAT CERTAIN WORDS MEAN WHEREVER THEY ARE USED WITH A CAPITAL LETTER IN THIS DOCUMENT

 

  • “Consumer” - an individual acting for purposes which are wholly or mainly outside that person’s trade, business, craft or profession.
  • “Content” - all information of whatever kind (including articles, documents, blogs, images, photos, audio, video, advertisements) displayed, stored or sent on or in connection with our Service.
  • “Service” – our website, our Web App and any related services.
  • “Web App” - the “Stress Control” web application and any related services supplied by us.
  • “User” - people or organisations using our Service (whether or not registered with us).

 

  1. IMPORTANT WARNING

HERE IS SOME CRUCIAL INFORMATION THAT WE WANT TO TELL YOU ABOUT RIGHT AT THE START

 

  • Stress Control is an evidence-based Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) approach designed to help address common mental health issues, including anxiety, depression, panic, poor sleep, and poor well-being. However, while we believe that our Service can be beneficial in many ways, it is not tailored to your situation.

 

  • Our Service is not intended to diagnose, prevent, or treat any medical condition, to ascertain the state of your health, or to be used as a substitute for medical advice and we make no promise that the Service provides therapeutic benefit or that any particular “wellness” objective will be achieved. You agree that you will not rely on any advice or statements by us relating to your health and that you will immediately consult a qualified health professional (e.g., your GP or healthcare provider) or local mental health services if you have any concerns about your physical or mental health. In the case of suicidal thoughts, or an urgent need for support, please contact your healthcare provider or the appropriate authorities, such as the Samaritans at 116 123 (UK and Ireland).

 

  1. How you enter a legal contract with us

THIS SECTION TELLS YOU HOW AND WHEN YOU BECOME LEGALLY BOUND BY A CONTRACT WITH US

IN SHORT: THE CONSUMER THE RIGHT TO GET OUT OF THE CONTRACT WITHIN THE FIRST 14 DAYS DOES NOT APPLY

 

  • Our Service involves the supply of digital content (e.g., streaming videos/ downloadable PDFs) which begins before the end of cancellation period with your specific agreement, and so you lose any right to cancel as a result.
